Quote:"My Master? He studied human anatomy in his hermitage. Was obsessed with blessings and mutations- Things of that nature. Wanted to learn how to harness that power for others, jumpstart the process of becoming a full-fledged mage. Said it was for those who lacked the aptitude, and for those that lacked the attention of the divine. Commoners, yes? He taught me everything I know. He would often say that I was his best pupil, and most successful experiment. I found it funny, since I was his only pupil. But looking back on it now..."

"I was definitely not his only experiment."

In a dark corner of the forest there lies a run-down and rotted study.
Underneath that study lies things long buried.
Among them is a means of answering the Apothecary's burning question:

"What is my disease's hunger meant to fill, when all that I consume leaves me empty?"
